I think it's pretty nifty, but I have no current plans to
extend it or maintain it. If you do anything with the code,
let me know, and I'll add a link to your work here.

hinting-viewer runs under GNOME and depends on the GTK+,
cairo, FreeType, and GConf libraries. The versions it depended
upon were bleeding-edge in 2004, but the library versions on any
reasonably recent Linux distribution should be fine now.
To build the code just go to the directory and type 'make'.
